Yesterday Daniela, our skincare expert, discussed why you are more stressed at work and why that gives you pimples. Today she shares with us how to fix it!
When we talk
of an acne breakout being “hormonal” we usually mean breakouts that occur with
PMS or emotional freaking out. What do
hormones have to do with acne?
It’s all about
the male hormone, Testosterone.
Testosterone
is responsible for oil production in the skin. There are two main
places this gets produced in women - the ovaries, there’s your PMS,
and the adrenal glands. Any time there’s
an adrenaline rush there’s an accompanying testosterone rush. Conflict
stress can produce this rush.
If this rush
of hormone is quick, increase in oil is quick, too. If the skin is dehydrated, or clogged by skin care or makeup, the pores
will not be able to accommodate the sudden oil flow. Thus is
born the "undergrounder".
These rushes
of oil, especially in the presence of blackheads, create a situation that is a
little different from other kinds of acne.
So, the approach to the problem has to be different.
Instead of
drying and exfoliating the heck out of the skin, which is the usual way of
clearing acne, the focus first has to be extreme calming. Then, oil control happens by way of hydration,
to make pores more pliable to let go of the oil. And finally, there must be some way of
boosting the immune system inside pores so they can deal with these rushes
effectively.
